Service Optimisation with Service Management in Dynamics 365 Business Central
In 2020, Corpital and Pedan partnered to begin preparations to take Service Management in Dynamics 365 Business Central into use.
Patrick Hedelain, Service Manager at Pedan, says: “I have been looking forward to getting started. For Pedan, the next logical step was the journey towards service optimization.
The implementation of the service module in Dynamics 365 Business Central and the Service App from Anvaigo (formerly Anveo) enables my team to provide the best service to our customers. ”

Dynamics 365 Business Central Service Management and Anvaigo Service App have been merged
Prior to the deployment of the Dynamics 365 Business Central service module and the Anvaigo Service App, the service team managed their service orders manually.
Under the legacy process, the week's work was scheduled every Friday and worksheets printed. All changes were laborious, involving lots of manual changes and coordination. Service inspections were resource-intensive. Pedan handled processes manually and the technicians could not always provide the ultimate customer experience due to an unforeseen lack of spare parts, data history and previous customer communication.
After Dynamics 365 Business Central and the Service App from Anvaigo were implemented, Pedan's service team have seen the automation of manual processes such as reordering of spare parts, management of inventories in the service team’s vehicles, as well as handling of finances.
Patrick Hedelain and his team have especially noticed that:
- On the mobile devices, the service team has direct access to customer data and service items, which has given Pedan a new and simplified work process. The whole process is digitized and in real-time, giving Pedan valuable insight.
- The service technicians are now able to use the Anvaigo service app to scan goods and spare parts in and out of the vehicles and using standard transfer orders in Dynamics 365 Business Central, it is easy for the warehouse to pick the correct parts.
- The service module incl. the inventories in the vehicles are linked to the re-order system in Dynamics 365 Business Central, so Pedan centrally ensures that each vehicle always carries the right inventory.
- When urgent requests, illness or lack of delivery now arise, the service manager can centrally change the tasks that the technicians have to perform. This provides better and faster customer service, a minimum of manual coordination and more efficient service technicians.
The combination of the service module in Dynamics 365 Business Central and the Service app from Anvaigo gives Pedan's service technicians the right technical foundation for efficient service of our customers.
Anveo Service App
After researching the market, Pedan's IT provider Corpital recommended the Service App from Anvaigo. After a general introduction to the Service App, Pedan and Corpital investigated how the app could be customized to meet Pedan's needs.
Kristoffer Bjerno, Partner at Corpital: “Corpital was able to advise in the Anvaigo software relatively quickly. The training requirement was minimal and we were able to configure and customize the app within a relatively short period of time, which had a positive effect on project implementation.
Corpital has found that Anvaigo has been a great partner in the process and has assisted with technical assistance when needed. Anvaigo is responsive to improvement measures for future versions of the standard application from both customers and us as an implementation partner. ”
Pedan's customers experience a faster and better service, as our employees have a 360-degree overview of machines, inquiries and which spare parts are to be used in connection with a service visit.
